Thanks gail. But for my own craziness please tell me why you say I am negative. Is it because my cd4 is 833 and 9 years later that would not be possible. I know it is not dianostic but wanted to ask you why you say I am hiv negativeView Thread

Good morning. I need some major help and answers so that I can go on with my life. I am a 32 year old male married and have been with the same women for 9 years. Prior to my wife I had only a couple of partners. I did have a protected encounter with a csw and do not recall the condom breaking. For some reason I have stuck in my head that I have had hiv for 9 years. My wife knows my fear and anxiety and thinks I am crazy. I have been healthy all of these years and when I do get sick it is only for a day or two. Also my wife and I have never practiced safe sex and have just had a child in nov of 2012. She was tested in 2010 during her first pregnancy and it was negative and then tested again 3 times during this pregnancy also negative. We did cord banking and they test for ID and all negative. I have had regular blood tests and all of my levels are normal. My doctor tells me that if I had hiv for 9 years and was not being treated I would be sick, my wife would have had it, and my blood counts would be off. Is this true? Also my last cbc I took the results and calculated my cd4 counts and confirmed through the doctors on the body.com that my calculation would in general be close. That number is 833. I read in many places that after infection cd4 stabilises at around 500-600 and then goes down each year. So given all of the factors above what are the chances I could have hiv for this long and not know it somehow some way by now. Please help me.View Thread
